Background

The pipeline gained approval from the Norwegian parliament in 1986. The Zeepipe gas pipeline was constructed in three phases. The Zeepipe system was originally laid to carry gas from the Sleipner and later Troll fields to Zeebrugge in Belgium. The gas in this pipeline is traded in Belgian, French and Spanish markets. At the time of construction, the phase I pipeline from Sleipner to Zeebrugge was the longest subsea pipeline ever built Phases II A and II B run parallel to one another.
